We copy the following item from a
Holton. Kan, paper: There is tide
which leads on to fortune. 1t is now at
its flood at Mayetta. No better invest
ment is now offered than III real estate in
this thriving young town. nor a more
promising point to open up in almost any
line of trade or traffic" We also find
the following item among the locals from
mayetta: 1--WE now have four or five
trains day on the G. X. and n. w. rail-
road" by which it seems that two rail-
roads are running through the town.
Mrs. Lunger, in a recent letter, says: IF
there is any one who wants to come
West, send them to Mayetta. There is
no kind of trade that a man with push
and energy cannot do well at here. In
letter dated March IL, she says: 1--WE
have about 60 bushels of oats sowed, but
are not done. Have few early potatoes.
cas- and radishes planted. The weather
has been fine the past week, and the
grass is getting quite green"
1t looks doubtful about Fletcher ever
having physician of its own again. The
man who lives here must have what
patronage there is, and if he thrives
should get work outside. Many of the
best paying portion of the community ig-
more the fact of home physician and
send away for one. Such man as DIR.
Downing is blessing to any community,
aside from his medical skill. A man of
excellent principles, he took an interest
in the highest good of society and la
bored to promote it, but he only re-
maincd a year. DR.. Bogue soon moved
here, and after a six months stay
he too, folded his tent and departed. A
worthy couple, they have won friends
here who very much regret that they
could not have subsiSted on faith and so
held out until the doctor could have
gained the reputation for skill in his pro-
fession which they feel sure time would
have brought him. Those having the
pleasure of his wife's acquaintance held
her in high esteem. All hope they may
find a pleasant home and due apprecia-
ton in the town of New Haven, to which
place they went recently and quite
unexpected to many.
